Reactions to juice combinations...

[Nissi]

So, anyone else tried seeing how many different reactions you can get from juice bar combinations on the boat trip?

So far I've gotten:

Liz saying it's weird but nice (seems various combinations trigger it, probably the default)

Cove absolutely loving the combo (tropical juice mix, because of course Cove Holden likes tropical juice)

Lee really enjoying it (using her own combination, ha)

"It's just carrot juice", which was hilarious (probably triggers for any single juice, but I haven't tested that)

Hands down the best so far - adding literally all the ingredients, especially when you're making the monstrous mix with Cove and take Baxter along for the trip. If you haven't tried this yourself yet, please do yourself a favour and load up a save where you can. Without spoiling it, I couldn't even breath by the end of that scene, I gave myself a stomach cramp laughing at Cove's reactions :D and Baxter just continues to be my favourite oddball.

I tried to see if there was a combination that Liz really likes, or one that's just plain gross for everyone, but had no luck with that so far.

I had no idea there were different reactions depending on the combo. Thanks for pointing that out.

I've found a lot of little moments like this in the game can give you different reactions - another one in Step 3 is your choice at the crepe stand, eg picking lots of toppings earns you a high five from Terry if I remember right. When I do my third run I intend to test what some of the other "pick a combination" moments can do, since I haven't tested it out much with the mall smoothies and stuff.

It's honestly really neat, I love it when devs put in these sorts of weird little things you have to try to find.

My default is strawberry-pina colada, which always gets the "Weird, but good" reaction. I'll have to try different combos now.

Another thought: Step 2, when MC and Cove are making sandwiches, what if you choose the option "This didn't turn out as good as you thought it would be"? I bet Cove would share part of his sandwich with you!

She does. And you can do the weird turkey thing. I'm just really sad that doing it doesn't make the fist-high-five into an actual thing that carries over, especially with Miranda laughing at it.

I know that making a different type (aka sweet vs savory) doesn't change anything, but I've yet to try making a "bad" one since I tend to fall into the "make something that make sense" trap.

I could swear that I did the turkey thing again in Step 4, maybe it showing up again depends on what options you pick?

Also definitely going to see what deliberately picking bad combos and complaining about it does when I get around to the next run, though I half suspect that if it does do anything it's less "sharing" and more "here take the whole thing" with Cove being so consistently flustered over MC's cooties :p

I've done that before. Cove puts banana, peanut butter, and honey on mixed grains. If you do the same, your MC makes a mental note about how it's identical to his. Cove notices too.

As far as not liking your sandwich, nothing really happens there. Neither you nor Cove say anything about it and the story just continues.

my sides are hurting from laughing at the boat juice. i seriously had to stop several times because my throat was hurting, my collarbone cracked at one point and i couldn't breathe. thank you for the suggestion 🤣

Just got to this now - my character was totally the type to make the monster juice! Absolutely needed a break because my stomach hurt from laughing at us making eye contact with Cove while putting more juice in. x’D
